Flu Vaccination Clinics

Held annually and begin in late September

Flu jabs are available free to patients over 65 years of age or who have a chronic (long term) condition such as diabetes, asthma, heart or kidney problems.

Travel Vaccinations

If you require any vaccinations relating to foreign travel you need to make an appointment with the practice nurse to discuss your travel arrangements. This will include which countries and areas within countries that you are visiting to determine what vaccinations are required. There is further information about countries and vaccinations required on the links below

It is important to make this initial appointment as early as possible - a MINIMUM of 6 weeks before you travel - as a second appointment will be required with the practice nurse to actually receive the vaccinations. These vaccines have to be ordered as they are not a stock vaccine. Your second appointment needs to be at least 2 weeks before you travel to allow the vaccines to work.

Many travel vaccines are ordered on a private prescription and these incur a charge over and above the normal prescription charge. This is because not all travel vaccinations are included in the services provided by the NHS.

Travel Health Questionnaire

To help us offer the appropriate advice, please collect a form from the surgery to complete before coming to see the nurse.

Respiratory Clinic - Asthma and COPD

The Respiratory clinic runs on alternate Tuesday afternoons. It is for the new diagnosis of patients with respiratory conditions such as asthma or COPD. The clinic will also review patients with poorly controlled asthma or COPD.

New guidance recommends COPD should be considered in people over 35 who have a risk factor (generally smoking) and present with shortness of breath on exertion, chronic cough, regular sputum production, frequent winter “bronchitis” or wheeze. Therefore, we have instigated a Respiratory clinic at the Surgery to look for patients who are at risk and make sure they are properly tested and diagnosed.

The clinic is run by our respiratory nurse, Jackie Callan. Appointments will usually be made by a doctor or a nurse and if you would like to discuss specific issues with regards to your condition, a routine appointment should be made with a Doctor or our Respiratory nurses by telephoning reception in the usual way.

We encourage patients with well controlled asthma or COPD to be seen at least once per year for routine review by our Respiratory nurses and not in the Respiratory clinic as the clinic will endeavour to review patients with poorly controlled asthma or COPD.

New symptoms of suspected respiratory conditions and acute (new sudden onset) problems such as exacerbations (flare ups) of COPD/asthma and chest infections should be dealt with in a doctor’s routine appointment or through an emergency appointment.
